A quick google translate test (not the most accurate, obviously) seems to show that these check out, so thanks! Obviously there is a high probability of errors, but this will still help me in regards to working on my Japanese, so thanks a lot! That said, if someone did happen to link to the actual s...

To further add evidence to this, there is the whole line about the JSSDF "owing [her] a few favors" (paraphrasing there) during the preparations to combat Ramiel in episodes 5 & 6 (I can't remember exactly where the quote it). This begs the question of "What di...

Asuka's mood depending, "baka" to me DID seem like a term of endearment at times. (It actually can be, instead of an insult, context-depending.) Absolutely this. It makes the most sense, considering she definitely likes him as a person to the very least. It just seems like her...

Rewatch the flashback scene in Episode 21 (Director's Cut) coupled with the end of that flashback featured in EoE. Flows together nicely and shows Yui's intent* was two-fold: Third Impact on her terms (not Seele's) since it's inevitable, and Eva becoming a testament ...

Yui is a giant purple Lovecraftian demon who abandoned her own son! She doesn't count! Given how awful Gendo was to Shinji, I can't even begin to agree with this. Yui at least gave up her body so she could eventually protect him from the struggles she knew he'd have to face in the futur...

I don't think that SEELE has a connection with the Angels. Agreed. With the way they complain about the costs of repairing the Units injured in the fights, and how they react to news about the angels themselves, I would say it makes more sense to say they have knowledge about the angels. Now, h...

My bigger question would by why they don't kill Adam/Lillith after all of the other angels are dead? Then again, Gendo probably pulled strings to keep this idea from coming up. Because that's not what Gendo nor Seele wants. If they were going to do that, they could've just done it from ...

This seems pretty reasonable to me. Especially since Eva 01 receiving the stigmata was an important part of the process.

After she gets the S2 Engine, there's no reason I can see that it wouldn't be. Assuming the only thing keeping her from absolute control are the cybernetic implants, which she probably only bothered to retain because they provided a way to interface with Shinji. If necessity / Rule of Drama...

"Control", by the way, is relative, since Yui's soul is the gatekeeper of Eva-01's (now Yui's own) body. Basically, the body won't do anything unless Yui either has direct access, or grants it to someone or something else by synching. This is the point I was trying...

Not sure what the problem there was exactly, but I fixed your image. Thanks. I was confused myself, I didn't know why it messed up. How did you fix it? (Sorry for derailing my own thread for a second.) ________________________________ http://i.imgur.com/3vJNmz6.jpg Also, I understand it...

How are Yui and Unit 01 not the same person? I thought it was made explicitly clear that it was her soul inside since "she chose to remain inside the Eva"? She doesn't have direct control over the Eva at all times, at least not from what we've been shown. I mean yeah, she apparent...

It's possible though that in order to make room for the machinery that would keep him alive he had to give up his legs/hips. This makes sense since after he's tanged you hear a motor sputtering. Maybe his life support system was actually quite large.
